Change browser tab name in new forms designer

Forms Forms Layout Designer

Updated August 31

asked on September 20, 2023

So I have a process in Forms that has many forms that may be open at the same time. It would be nice in Forms 11 (New Forms Designer) to be able to name the tabs like we used to be able to in 10. This is one reason I am not using forms 11 much.

All but the "New Submission" were created in Forms 10.4, but since I created the one labeled "New Submission" with Forms 11 - New Forms Designer, I cannot change the name of the tab. Can anyone help me or is this a feature enhancement request?

I agree - this is one that a lot of us want too. It's has been mentioned during monthly Champion calls, and has been requested in LFAnswers at least a few times prior (example: here and here).

You can still do it with Forms created in the Classic Designer, just not the Modern Designer. This is because the solution in the Classic Designer is to use Javascript to modify the page title. But in the Modern Designer, the Javascript runs within a sandboxed iFrame and cannot directly modify elements like that.

They will need to enhance the designer to allow this functionality - either a built-in option to edit the page title, or allowing the LFForm Javascript object to edit that component.

+1 vote for this from me as well, I have so many forms and the navigating them in tabs gets very confusing.

Me too. This is much needed in the new designer.

It would be nice if, like Matthew led into, there was a built-in option within the Forms Process Options where you could set the New Submission Window Title. Being able to use system variables would be a nice touch.

Has there been any progress on this feature for Modern forms?

Thank you for the response! This is not working - I am getting a 'Uncaught (in promise) Invalid Settings' error during 'Inspect' when I run the form. We currently are on forms 12.0.2503.10378 - was it implemented in a newer version? We are also self-hosted, not sure if that matters for this feature.

Oh sorry. I guess I was misremembering it. I dug around and it looks like that was included in the Fall 2025 release (version 12.0.2509...). Sorry about that. You would need to upgrade to get that functionality.

And yes, I was referring to self-hosted. I don't know if this function is supported in LFCloud or not.

Awesome, thank you for your help! I'll work on getting our Laserfiche upgraded and then try again.
